The sixth sale of DreamPad has officially started in the early morning of April 28.

According to past rules, pre-orders started online on April 23. Not surprisingly, a total of 7 million units of the regular version and 700,000 units of the seven-color version were sold worldwide, and they were sold out within half a day, allowing those who wanted to

People who want to see the weak state of DreamPad are deeply disappointed once again.

This time, the share allocated to mainland China is much smaller, from the first 3 million units to 1.5 million units, a full drop by half!

Although the number of seven-color DreamPads increased to 10,000 units per direct-operated store, fans who were full of joy and wanted to buy DreamPads were disappointed.

There is nothing the Fairy Company can do about it.

Last time, 3 million units were supplied to mainland China, with the excuse that it was for the welfare of the people of the motherland. If so many are given this time, fans in other places will definitely rebel.

Originally, many experts who studied consumer electronics thought that after the IPHONE came out, the sales of DreamPad would drop because both are not cheap and have overlapping functions.

IPHONE has the advantage of being more portable and can be used as a mobile communication tool, so DreamPad will suffer no matter how you look at it.

However, DreamPad has not shown any signs of decline. On the contrary, it can be seen from the sales of the App Store that the number of DreamPad applications sold every day is still growing steadily and rapidly.

Well, the reason why it is called an app store is because a few days ago, Fairy Company officially announced the sale of shares in the DreamPad app store, and changed the name of the online store to "application store" according to the requirements of new shareholders.

Store (APPSOTRE)".

The app store that has changed its name has become more and more global in nature. It is not only a product of DreamPad, but also shows its determination to become the global leader in smart electronic applications in the future.

Since IPHONE joined the App Store, the number of paid downloadable programs has once again taken a leap. According to statistics in the past fifteen days, the average daily App Store sales are 200 million U.S. dollars, which greatly exceeds the previous turnover in February and March.

After getting the sales data that was not disclosed to the public, Gang Leader Qiao was a little annoyed that Samsung had taken advantage of it, but fortunately, Samsung's smartphones will be launched in the second half of the year, and he will also be able to get a share of Samsung's smartphones by then.

.

In fact, the one who suffers the most at this stage is Xiao Qi. After all, the main sales body of the App Store is his DreamPad, and both Samsung and Apple enjoy the benefits.

But a person's vision determines how far he will go.

What Xiao Qi values ​​is not the interests at this stage.

Think about it, in the future Apple’s IPHONE and IPAD will exceed 300 million units, and Samsung’s annual sales of mobile phones and tablets will be 400 million units. Together, these will be huge profits!

If you tell me, it will scare Bill, the richest man in the world, to death!

Even if Xiao Qi and the others only take 30% profit and have to pay various operating expenses, the net profit they get is probably higher than selling mobile phones and tablets.

Again, maybe IPHONE and DreamPad will be outdated and decline one day, but as long as people are using electronic products, the App Store will never be outdated!

However, now there is a strange phenomenon.

That is, on April 20, when the second batch of DreamPads were released in China, the number of fans queuing up not only did not decrease, but increased by at least 20 compared to before.

Moreover, they started queuing five days in advance this time. On the day of the sale, it was so crowded that the police who maintained order all the way almost collapsed - who can stand this for a long time?

Xiao Qi also felt very strange when he received the news.

Even if the population of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Sichuan exceeds 100 million, they are not so hungry. When did the loyalty of domestic fans reach such a high level?

As a result, it was only when Xiao Qi came back from the capital for the second time that he found out the reason.

It turned out that 70% of those waiting in line were scalpers!

DreamPads sold in mainland China are 10 cheaper than those in Hong Kong, 20 cheaper than those in the United States, 30 cheaper than those in Japan, and 40 cheaper than those in Germany...

Take a 16GB WIFI and 3G-enabled DreamPad as an example. The one in mainland China is 66 US dollars cheaper than the one in Hong Kong, which works out to about 500 yuan. This price difference is a bit worthless, and scalpers have little to gain.

But in the United States, the price difference reaches 1,000 yuan, in Japan it is 1,500 yuan, in Germany and Italy it is 2,000 yuan. If it is a higher configuration, you can make more.

Because the DreamPad has already been sold globally, hunger marketing is of little use, so Fairy Company’s current rule is that each user is limited to pre-ordering 5 DreamPads. Scalpers can earn 2,000-3,000 yuan by queuing for a few days. For them,

That being said, it is definitely a worthwhile business.

So this profit is enough to make scalpers excited and turn into action.

As for the remaining 30 fans, only 10 want to experience queuing, and the remaining 20 are all scared by scalpers, fearing that their goods will be taken away in advance, causing them to have to wait - even if

Even though they have already paid, they don't think it's safe.

By the time everyone realized it, most of the shares had been snatched away by scalpers, and it was already too late.

This time, out of China's 1.5 million DreamPad units, only less than 500,000 units fell into the hands of ordinary fans. The rest were all taken away by scalpers. Angry fans began to disclose and denounce them on the website.

Such shameless behavior!

After understanding the whole story, Xiao Qi's first reaction was that he couldn't laugh or cry.

In the past, only the American IPHONE, Korean and Hong Kong versions of various mobile phones and tablets would flow into the mainland market from Hong Kong and other places due to price differences.

Unexpectedly, now that the products we sell in mainland China are cheaper, it will be the turn of fans in Europe and the United States to take advantage of them.

Although there is something wrong with the flow of water and cargo, but...

Why did Xiao Qi feel so happy after hearing the news?

I also fought for our Chinese people!
